The genome sequence of the 16-spot Ladybird, Tytthaspis sedecimpunctata (Linnaeus, 1758) (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae)

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: (16-spot Ladybird; Arthropoda; Insecta; Coleoptera; Coccinellidae). The genome sequence has a total length of 355.68 megabases. Most of the assembly (88.7%) is scaffolded into 10 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the X sex chromosome. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled, with a length of 18.38 kilobases. This assembly was generated as part of the Darwin Tree of Life project, which produces genomes for eukaryotic species found in Britain and Ireland.
